First-round pick Anderson signs with Spurs

The Spurs have signed James Anderson, the 20th overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. The team, as is its policy, did not release the terms of the deal.

Anderson, a 6-foot-6 guard, played three years at Oklahoma State. He was last season’s Big 12 Player of the Year and a second team All-American. He led the Big 12 in scoring (22.3 ppg) and averaged 5.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 33 games.

The 21-year-old from Junction City, Ark., has been recovering from a pre-draft hamstring strain and did not play for the Spurs in the Las Vegas Summer League.
